"When I heard your father say that, I was also very shocked. I was worried that he would go back on it, so I waited for a long time." Ning's mother suppressed her excitement and said, "Guess what your father said? You Dad also urged me to think that I was moving too slowly."
Ning Nuan was surprised: "This is really what Daddy said? Isn't it someone else?"
"Of course it's your father." Ning's mother kept sighing: "I knew that your father would wake up after being beaten, why should I wait until now, I should have beaten myself long ago."
Ning Nuan: "…"
I don't know if it was Ning Nuan's illusion, but she could hear a bit of regret in Ning's mother's tone.
"Mother, what are you going to do?" Ning Nuan frowned: "If you rashly propose to separate the family, the old lady will definitely disagree."
Ning Yanting is the son of the Ning family, and now he is also the head of the Ning family. If the family is to be divided, they will take the most of the property. Among the three brothers of the Ning family, Ning Yanting has the highest official position and can best help the family. Not to mention, the group of vampires from the Ning family would definitely not agree to split the family property.
"Naturally it wasn't us who brought it up." Mother Ning said.
Ning Nuan suddenly realized: "Mother means to force the second uncle and the third uncle to mention it?"
Mother Ning nodded: "In these days, your father and I have done a lot of things, just waiting to find a suitable opportunity. Because we don't want to disturb you and Lang'er, we also stopped the servants, and we specially let them down. No one will reveal it to you."
Ning Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ning's mother always went to the second room and the third room to make trouble. Ning Nuan had also heard that there were many conflicts between the mother and the second and third ladies recently, but she didn't know that there was another purpose for making trouble.
"That mother... When are you and dad going to split up?" Ning Nuan asked, "What if the second uncle didn't mention it?"
"No." Mother Ning said mysteriously: "Just wait, they can't bear it. As long as they make trouble in front of the old lady, your father and I will naturally have a way to deal with it."
Ning Nuan couldn't help but be more curious.
But Mother Ning didn't say it directly. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "I saw your brother being very mysterious recently, and I don't know what he's doing. Even in the academy, he didn't make progress seriously. He has always been close to you. , do you know what?"
Ning Nuan's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Mother? What did you hear?"
"I haven't heard anything, but I'm worried. What if your brother went to find King An again?" Mother Ning sighed, "I told him so many times, but he never listened to me. ."
Because he just asked An Wang to do him a favor, he helped him solve Ning Lang's matter, and Ning Nuan was very grateful to him, and listening to Ning's mother's words, she was even more curious: "Mother, why are you? Don't let my brother contact King An?"
"I'm not doing this for..." Mother Ning stopped the conversation in a hurry, then pulled her and asked, "What about you? Your brother is in contact with King An. You haven't met King An, have you?"
Ning Nuan shook his head.
"That's good, that's good." Mother Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A Nuan, you remember, if your brother asks you to take you to see King An, you must never agree. "
"Mother? Why?"
Mother Ning said vaguely: "Mother will not harm you, just listen to your mother."
Ning Nuan was even more puzzled, but the matter of King An's help was already in front of her. She had a good impression of King An. The more vague Ning's mother said, the more strange she became. Although the mouth agrees, there is some disagreement in the heart.
"Also, A Nuan, during these days, you don't have to grieve yourself anymore."
"What? Mother?"
Ning's mother said to her: "Mother has not dealt with the second and third rooms during this period of time. They are dissatisfied in their hearts. They can't find mother's troubles. They will definitely find your troubles, especially Ning Qing. She will definitely come to you to show off. , I'm proud of my engagement with the Zhou family. If Ning Qing really comes, A Nuan, you don't have to hold back, just scold you back, even if she goes to the old lady to complain, there will still be a mother for you."
Ning Nuan couldn't help but smile: "I know it, mother."
When did she let Ning Qing take advantage
What Ning's mother said was true. After a while, Ning Qing really came to find her trouble. She sent a maid to call her over, saying that the shop had brought new jewelry, so she went to pick it out.
Ning Nuan did not refuse, and went with Xiang Tao.
The lady from the jewelry shop brought her jewelry to the courtyard of the second room. When Ning Nuan arrived, Ning Qing and Ning Xin were both inside. Before she stepped into the door, the two were still talking and laughing. With his face closed, the room suddenly became quiet. The lady of the jewelry shop didn't know about their private disputes, so she was a little embarrassed.
Ning Nuan just pretended not to see it.
There were several boxes on the table with all kinds of jewelry in them. As soon as she approached, the lady of the jewelry shop immediately picked one up and looked at her with a smile: "Miss, what do you think of this? I know The eldest lady has always liked jade ornaments, and it just so happened that I just got a good pair in the shop today, and I specially sent it to the eldest lady."
The lady of the jewelry shop opened the box. The jade ornaments inside were really exquisite. Ning Nuan's eyes lit up. He was about to reach out and take it in his hand to take a good look, when a hand suddenly stretched out and took the box away. past.
Ning Qing put the box in her hand, and without looking at it, she said, "This young lady likes it."
"..."
The jewelry shop lady's face was embarrassed for a moment, then she smiled again, picked up another box and said, "Miss, this..."
Ning Qing reached out to take it again and said, "This, Miss Ben also likes it."
"..."
Ning Qing didn't look at Ning Nuan's face, she directly picked out the jewelry on the table, and finally said directly: "Miss Ben has also fallen in love with jade ornaments recently, and I will wrap all the jade ornaments that I brought here today. Bar."
The lady of the jewelry shop was overjoyed at first, and then looked at Ning Nuan awkwardly.
She secretly complained in her heart: The two young ladies of the Ning family are not on good terms, so how could the fire still burn her head
Ning Qing raised her chin, picked up a pair of white jade earrings, and compared them by her ears. She looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.
She glanced at Ning Nuan and said, "Sister Nuan, what are you looking at me for? Is it possible that you are only allowed to like jade ornaments, but not me? You can pick them too, these jewelry are so beautiful, Sister Nuan, you Hurry up and pick some that you like, so as not to delay others."
The lady of the jewelry shop hurriedly said: "No delay, no delay, if the three young ladies are not satisfied with these, I will go to the shop to get some."
Ning Qing gave her a look: "Could it be that there are better ones in your shop?"
The jewelry store lady was dumbfounded.
Xiangtao couldn't bear it anymore, she glanced at Ning Nuan, and seeing that Ning Nuan had no objection, she immediately said, "Second Miss knows that our young lady likes jade ornaments, but she has taken all the jade ornaments away, so how should our young lady choose?"
Ning Qing's face sank immediately: "What? Could it be that your young lady can't wear jade ornaments? Now I'm going to go to the old lady to judge, all the jade ornaments in the world have your name Ning Nuan signed. "
Ning Nuan smiled suddenly: "I don't have a name, but I'm just curious, where did you get so much money?"
"Naturally, this is a public sex." Ning Qing raised her chin and said, "Our family buys clothes and jewelry for girls every month. Did Sister Nuan forget?"
"Since you said that, then I'm relieved." Ning Nuan glanced at the boxes full of jewelry on the table, and said to the jewelry shop lady, "Wrap up the rest and send it to my house. in."
Jewelry shop lady:! !
There's a lot left!
Ning Qing didn't pick anything before, she deliberately waited for Ning Nuan to come over, and snatched her favorite jade ornament in front of her, leaving none of it for Ning Nuan. But her favorite is still one of the sapphire heads, which is also the most expensive of all the jewelry on the table. She had taken a fancy to it early on, and originally planned to bring Ning Henan along with him after he left, but who knows that it is now being sold. Getting there first and being snatched directly by Ning Nuan? !
Ning Qing's expression suddenly changed, "No way!"
"No?" Ning Nuan smiled at her: "Why not?"
"You... haven't you always liked jade ornaments?"
"Recently, I suddenly changed my preference and I don't like jade ornaments anymore." Ning Nuan said lightly: "If my sister has nothing else to do, then I will go back first."
After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "Don't forget to bring the jewelry I picked to my house."
Ning Nuan turned to leave.
She didn't take two steps when Ning Qing's voice came from behind: "Wait!"
Ning Nuan stopped and turned to look at her: "Is there anything else my sister has to do?"
"You... you..." Ning Qing blushed, and after a long time, you said, "You picked all the jewelry away, what about Ning Xin? She hasn't picked it yet."
Ning Nuan smiled slightly and said, "Then let someone bring some more from the shop."
After she finished speaking, she left without giving Ning Qing any chance.
Everyone in the room was stunned. Ning Qing and Ning Xin reacted for a long time, but it was the jewelry store lady who reacted first and started to pack the table.
"Stop!" Ning Qing said irritably, "Who allowed you to pack?!"
The lady of the jewelry shop stopped all of a sudden and looked at her at a loss: "What does the second miss mean... not to send it to the eldest miss?"
Ning Qing choked, then sat down angrily.
Only Ning Xin, who was on the side, was very aggrieved: "Sister Qing, I haven't picked any jewelry yet."
Listening to Ning Qing's words, she didn't pick anything in advance, she just waited for Ning Nuan to come over, who knew that Ning Nuan was so rude and picked all the remaining jewelry away, not even a single piece left. She also took a fancy to a set of jewelry just now, but before she took a few more glances, it had already become someone else's.
She didn't have any, but Ning Qing got all the jade ornaments.
Ning Qing said angrily, "Will I still treat you badly?"
"Sister Qing, are you going to steal the jewelry from Sister Nuan?"
"..."
Ning Qing gritted her teeth and said, "You go to the shop and pick, I'll pay."
Ning Xin was satisfied.
Ning Qing was in constant pain. Where did she need to pay for these jewelry in the past? You only need to go to the aunt and ask for it, and you can get beautiful jewelry without spending a single copper plate.
It's really messed up. Since the aunt's sudden change in temperament, it's all messed up.
She also heard from her mother that the big room has always come to ask for trouble recently, adding a lot of blockage to their second room. She originally wanted to take advantage of this time to get it back from Ning Nuan, but she didn't. Let Ning Nuan pit again.
Over there, the lady of the jewelry store had already packed up all the jewelry with ease, and came to Ning Qing with the bill with a smile.
"Second miss, come and see, this is the account of these jewelry."
Ning Qing took it over to take a look, saw the amount above, and suddenly exclaimed, "How come there are so many?!"
"The eldest miss took all the jewelry away. Among these jewelry, the sapphire set and the white jade set you asked for are the most valuable. Although the other jewelry are not as valuable as those two, they add up to a lot. Silver, if Second Young Lady doesn't believe it, you can do the math yourself."
Ning Qing's face turned pale.
She had heard her mother complain that the public treasury had been robbed of many things by the aunt recently. Without the dowry subsidy from the aunt, the uncle did not give money to the father, and they had to pay for all the expenses themselves. Some, don't be as lavish as before.
This... I want so much jewelry all of a sudden...
Ning Xin was watching. Ning Qing still didn't say anything. She forced a smile and said to the lady of the jewelry shop, "Let's ask for it in the bill as before."
The jewelry store lady just left.
As soon as she left, Ning Qing couldn't sit still, she hurriedly went to find the second lady, and whispered to the second lady, the second lady's face changed greatly, and then the mother and daughter went to the old lady together.
After Ning Yanting returned home, everyone was called by the old lady.
Ning Qing and the second lady stood by the old lady's side. They looked confident because they had someone to support them. The second lady also deliberately pretended to be dejected, as if she wanted to put herself in a weak position, but because Not good at it, it looks kind of funny.
Mother Ning brought Ning Nuan into the door, first glanced at everyone in the room, and finally her eyes fell on the packaged jewelry. She and Ning Nuan looked at each other, a little bit of understanding flashed in their eyes.
Neither Ning Nuan nor Ning's mother said a word. After entering the room, they sat in the lower seat, only Ning Yanting leaned over and said to the old lady with a natural attitude: "Mother, do you have anything to do with us suddenly? This is very good. , why did you call everyone here?"
As he spoke, a worry suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked, "Could it be that someone is to blame?"
"Second brother? Is that you?" Ning Yanting turned his head and asked, "You have always been prudent, eldest brother is most at ease with you, but my mother is so excited to call everyone, even Ning Qing and the others, are you provoking? What's wrong?"
Ning Yanwen was stunned for a moment, and he opened his mouth to refute, and then heard Ning Yanting sigh and looked at him with some reproach: "Second brother, if you have anything, just leave me and the third brother, we are brothers. , is there anything I can't help? Mother is old, you don't let her rest well, how can you make her tired?"
Ning Yanwen: "..."
Ning Yanwen said quickly, "Brother, this time it's not my business."
"Isn't it you?" Ning Yanting turned to look at Ning Yanhai again: "Third brother, is it you this time? Yes, you have always liked to make troubles on weekdays. From childhood to adulthood, my second brother and I have helped you. A lot of responsibilities, not too long ago... sigh, third brother, you too, if there is really anything, just find me and the second brother, why should you alarm the mother?"
Ning Yanhai rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, it's not my business this time."
Ning Yanting was very surprised: "It's not you either."
"Okay." The old lady said solemnly, "I called you here this time for another matter, and it has nothing to do with them both."
Ning Yanting looked left and right, suddenly understood something, and said in disbelief, "Could it be me? Mother, I haven't done anything recently, and I haven't even caused any trouble."
"It's not you." The old lady said, "If you really want to know, why don't you ask your good daughter."
"A Nuan?" Ning Yanting turned back: "A Nuan, what did you do?"
Ning Nuan said neither humble nor arrogant: "Dad, my daughter didn't do anything either."
Ning Yanting turned his head: "Mother, look, A Nuan also said, she didn't do anything."
Old lady: "..."
This is the first time the old lady has seen such a righteous attitude.
It was Ning Qing who couldn't hold her breath first, and said, "Uncle, why don't you take a look at these jewelry. Sister Nuan bought them all by herself."
"Jewelry?" Ning Yanting was confused: "What's wrong with Ah Nuan buying some jewelry? She is a girl, so she should dress up well. Is there something wrong with this jewelry?"
"That's right, the shop sent jewelry over today, and Sister Xin and I were waiting for Sister Nuan to come and choose it, but Sister Nuan was better, and she took all the jewelry away and didn't leave half of it for Sister Xin, if Sister Nuan liked it. , it's nothing, but this is all the money of the public, if it is sister Nuan's private house, I won't say anything, but since it is the silver of the public, how can it be so messy?"
Ning Yanting turned back: "A Nuan?"
"I saw that Sister Qing picked up all the jade ornaments, and I heard that Sister Qing said that it was the money from Gongzhong, so I thought it was all like this." Speaking of this, Ning Nuan smiled lightly: "I used to send jewelry from the shop, two My little sister never told me, I thought it was just like what my sister said, if you like it, you can pick them all."
Ning Yanting turned his head: "Mother, look, this is also the first time Ah Nuan has picked jewelry, I don't know why. Besides, you see, Ah Nuan has never picked jewelry before, but this time it's just too much. Some of them are made up from the previous rounds, and I don't think it's a big deal."
"Big brother, please don't say that." The second lady said: "Big brother doesn't care about the internal affairs of the mansion, I'm afraid he doesn't know the hardships in the mansion. If it used to be, the girls would take them all if they liked it, but now it's different. It's more difficult than before, if every time it's like Ning Nuan's big hands, I'm afraid it won't be long..." She gave Ning Nuan a meaningful look and stopped.
Mother Ning snorted and said, "This is strange. The Ning family has a great career. How could life suddenly become difficult in the hands of the second younger brother and sister."
The second lady was waiting for her to say these words, and when she heard her question, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she opened her mouth to settle the account with her: "Before the elder brother was injured, the elder sister took a lot of precious medicinal materials from the public treasury. , Big brother rested for half a month, and sister-in-law looked for a reason and asked for a lot of things. At first, I thought that it was also for big brother, so I thought it was okay, but now big brother's injury has healed, but sister-in-law is not only intemperate, but also healed. The more it goes too far, no matter how big the Ning family's family business is, it is far less powerful than the big spender like the eldest sister-in-law."
The second lady was very excited.
How much she has swallowed her voice these days, how excited she is now. She had already recorded everything Jiang Yunlan had taken these days, and remembered everything clearly. Jiang Yunlan was really rude, even if anyone saw it, she would be surprised.
She is not worried that Jiang Yunlan will reconcile with her, that is right, so that everyone can know how excessive Jiang Yunlan has been during this time!
Ning Yanting turned his head, took a deep look at Mother Ning, and sighed heavily.
Mother Ning held her chin up, gritted her teeth stubbornly, and did not speak.
The second lady was even more happy.
Ning Yanting opened his mouth and said, "Yunlan, I have wronged you."
Second lady: "… "… what? !
Ning Yanting sighed and said, "I didn't expect that you are just taking some things, and the second siblings can't tolerate you."
Ning's mother suddenly showed weakness, pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, and swallowed her voice: "Second brother and sister have always been like this, I just have to endure it again."
Second lady: "..."
The second lady couldn't help but re-think what she just said, but she couldn't find the mistake.
She couldn't help thinking: Could something be wrong with her ears
Mother Ning glanced at her faintly, and said, "Our master is the head of the Ning family, and the master is injured. I will take some good medicine from the public library for the master. Is this okay? Although the second siblings are very hard to manage the internal affairs. , but this Ning family is not the second brother and sister, the things in the public treasury, can't we even touch the big room?"
Second lady: "..."
What? What
Did she mean this
The second lady was stunned.
She was stunned for a long time, seeing that the more the two of them were talking, the more they said it was like she was deliberately bullying the big room, the second wife hurriedly said: "Big brother and sister-in-law have misunderstood, the big brother is the backbone of our Ning family, but it's just a matter of taste. Medicinal materials, why would I be reluctant? It's just that my sister-in-law is going too far."
Afraid that the two would argue something else, she hurriedly opened the account book she had prepared earlier, pointed to the account above, and said, "Sister-in-law is not only going to take away the medicinal materials, even if she spends it in the shop outside, she is also going to leave. The account of the public. Everyone in the family will issue a case every month. If the case is not enough, there is absolutely no reason to follow the account of the public, sister-in-law, don’t you think?”
Ning's mother suddenly realized: "So this is what you said?"
Ning Yanting then said: "But the second and third brothers, didn't they do the same thing?"
The second lady was stunned again.
She froze in place with the account, not knowing how to react.
It's not right... it's not right...
According to Ning Yanting's temperament, shouldn't he have already blamed himself and guilt and reprimanded Jiang Yunlan? Why are you still talking to Jiang Yunlan
Ning Yanting said in a hoarse voice: "Listen to the second brother and sister, as the head of the Ning family, I can't even get the same treatment as you? The second brother and the third brother can find an excuse to leave the public account, but I can't. already?"
